That being the case, it’s no wonder Buddhist followers around the world are questioning the actions of eight monks from the South Korean “Jogye” sect. The story began when the eight monks traveled to a lakeside luxury hotel for a memorial service. They started drinking, smoking and playing poker around 9pm, all the while being secretly filmed.
